The Charleston harbor water level changes twice per day by almost 6 feet on average making tide one of the most crucial elements for fishing inshore this area. Here in the creeks and on the flats we are typically working with the tide to target redfish, trout, and flounder using light tackle spin rods with artificial lures or bait.

The inshore fly fishing is typically targeting trout and redfish using 69wt fly rods depending on the fishing conditions. Tippet sizes range from 1220, and the most effective flies tend to be crab, shrimp, or small fish patterns. Offshore fly fishing in the Seacraft can be very exciting whether you’re using live bait to chum up reef dwellers like mackerel, cobia, and amberjacks or drifting behind the shrimp boats looking for large sharks. Standard gear are 1015wt fly rods with assorted baitfish patterns.

The offshore waters of South Carolina are covered with naturally occurring live bottom areas as well as man-made reefs to provide structure for fish. These areas can be extremely productive using spin tackle and conventional gear for the bigger fish. We frequently see amberjacks, spadefish, cobia, little tunas, seabass, sharks and lots more.
Deposits and Cancellations
A credit card and $200/day deposit are required for booking. Deposit is refundable outside of two weeks from the charter date or for weather related cancellation at the captain's discretion. Please understand that I do sometimes have to make minor adjustments to scheduled timing of charters to allow for changes in fishing and weather conditions.
If inside two weeks, the deposit is only refundable if I am able to re-book the day. Cancellation within 48 hours of the charter will result in full price being charged to the credit card provided during booking.
What's included and what to bring
The rates listed cover all of the fishing gear, bait/lures, and licensing that you will need. Everyone is encouraged to bring your own fishing gear if you want, or you are welcome to use mine.
For planning how to dress, the best way is check the forecast the day before and decide what you will be comfortable wearing outside that day. I recommend everyone bring a light jacket or rain jacket, and sunglasses are a must especially for sight fishing. Shoes are a good idea to avoid accidentally stepping on something, even flip flops or sandals work well for the summer months.
Each boat has a cooler onboard packed with ice and water, but you will need to bring any other drinks and/or snacks you want. (No glass please)
